Writer // Director // Producer Photographer // Cinematographer // Promptographer
Here’s how I transformed a simple concept into a Lynchian nightmare, and how a hallucinating AI voice model unexpectedly became the soul of the entire production.
In 1973, James’s parents gifted him a well-worn Kodak Duaflex II twin-lens reflex camera and a complete black-and-white darkroom. In that moment, a lifelong passion for photography was born. Fifty years later, that passion remains as strong as ever. Known for his award-winning creative direction in advertising and publishing, James was a founding team member of disney.com and webmd.com. His design work has been featured in the Print Regional Annual and Communication Arts. His photographs have even been sold at the prestigious Society of Publication Designers’ annual charity auction in NYC.
